Judge Dredd: The Mega Collection is a partwork collection of selected stories from the first 38 years of Judge Dredd stories, published by Hachette Partworks with content chosen by Matt Smith. It was distributed to newsagents and available by subscription. The subscription features free gifts with the first four issues[1] (note that the timescale for subscription gifts below are based on starting the subscription with issue 1, and gifts were only available for subscribers starting with issues 1, 2 or 3).
Its release was backed by a dedicated website, TV advert and podcast series.

The initial 80-issue hardback series features artwork on the spines which builds up into a single image. The volumes are released out of sequence, so that Issue 2 is equal to Volume 24[2].

In Summer 2017, Hachette announced that a further 10 volumes would be issued following popular demand. These will be volumes 81-90. Like the main collection, these will not be released in sequence order (for example, the first one to be published, as issue 81, was Book 85). The artwork on the spines continued to form a continuing image from the first 80 volumes; however a revised volume 80 was issued free of charge to subscribers, as the artwork between volume 80 and volume 81 did not match up.

Issue one was published in January 2015, with the final (90th) issue being published in June 2018.
